I've been dealing with frequent urination for a long time now. In the mornings, I need to go every 10 minutes for about 3 hours. Then around 3 pm, it starts again I feel sudden strong urges with large amounts of urine and my bladder fills up super fast. The pressure feels intense and this lasts 4-5 hours. What could be causing this? Would I need surgery for it?

A urologist diagnosed me with category 1 phimosis and recommended surgery, but I've heard homeopathic treatment might work instead. Is there any non-surgical treatment available for this? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other options.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I had varicocele surgery two months ago but still have testicle pain. The recent scan shows some veins are still there and it's now grade 1. Do I need another surgery or are there other options to manage this?

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pain after varicocele surgery, especially with a grade 1 varicocele still present. While some vein persistence is normal, persistent pain warrants further investigation. While repeat surgery could be an option, other conservative measures and interventions should be considered first
